Bone hemorrhage, infection, and large bone defects following surgical treatment of traumatic bone injury have raised potential concerns, underscoring the urgent need to develop multifunctional therapeutic platforms that can effectively address traumatic bone regeneration. Advancements in three-dimensional (3D) printing technology have propelled the development of several engineering disciplines, such as tissue engineering. Nevertheless, 3D-printed frameworks with conventional materials often lack multifunctional capabilities to promote specific activities for diverse regeneration purposes.

The selection of appropriate scaffold materials remains a critical challenge in this field. In this study, we aimed to address this challenge by evaluating and comparing the performance of hydrogel scaffolds reinforced with -tricalcium phosphate (-TCP), allograft, and a combination of allograft and strontium hydroxyapatite (SrHA).

Hybrid injectable and biodegradable hydrogels based on oxidized alginate/gelatin and containing nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) as a reinforcement have been fabricated and crosslinked by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) as the chemical crosslinking agents in the hydrogel system. The idea of composite hydrogels relies on the assumption that they supply a microenvironment that is convenient for the exchange of nutrients a porous structure and cell proliferation and have mechanical characteristics that approximately match natural tissue. The effect of the NCD content on the morphology structure, mechanical strength, swelling ratio, and biodegradation has been investigated.

Porous substrates composed of biodegradable polymers and nanoparticles have found extensive use as three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds to regenerate damaged tissues through the incorporation of cells or growth factors. Here, injectable thermally responsive hydrogels based on SiO nanoparticles (NPs), alginate, and gelatin biopolymers, with possible utilization for cartilage tissue engineering, are introduced. The nanocomposites contain different amounts of SiO NPs for reinforcement and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC)/-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) for chemical crosslinking of polymer chains in the 3D hydrogel network.

The traditional hydrogels are prone to break due to the applied stress. The deformation of the implanted hydrogels would result in the loss of structural integrity, leading to the failure of hydrogel functionalities and tissue regeneration. Self-healing hydrogels (AG-UPy), composed of oxidized alginate and ureidopyrimidinone-functionalized gelatin (G-UPy), were developed to address this challenge.
